Clang3.8 cross-compile linker issues libc (undefined references)

[BlueMax]

I'm trying to cross-compile zlib-1.2.8 with clang3.8/android-ndk-20160105 snapshot on Debian Jessie.

Compiles properly but linking gives undefined reference errors.
'CC=arm-linux-androideabi-gcc' compiles (and links) properly. But that's probably not meant by "Everyone should be switching to Clang".

Any idea what's wrong here?

Works fine with build 2490520, so this is a pretty recent regression (I assume that by "clang3.8/android-ndk-20160105 snapshot on Debian Jessie" you mean you built it yourself? Or does Debian provide nightlies?)

Checking with a ToT build right now.

[DanAlbert]

Those symbols, and a few others, ended up getting accidentally removed from the NDK's definition of libc while we were purging other private symbols and whatnot. @dimitry- is working on a fix.

[BlueMax]

Nice, thx.
Yes, i built it myself. I'm not sure where to find the NDK build number but the last commit of 'NDK' folder is:

commit 6488e1c4dca9fe7529de66e04af290eb7f27bed0
Merge: 9c0014c 299d47d
Author: Dan Albert <[email protected]>
Date:   Mon Jan 4 22:30:04 2016 +0000

    Merge "Update the changelog for build 2510877."

[DanAlbert]

Yeah, unfortunately our build servers aren't publicly visible (yet, I'm working on making that happen).

Here's another one:
__gnu_Unwind_Find_exidx
Unresolved in $TOOLCHAIN/arm-linux-androideabi/lib/armv7-a/thumb/libc++_shared.so:

Is make-standalone-toolchain.sh --stl=gnustl not yet ready? --stl=libc++ works properly.
ERROR: Cant' copy from non-directory: /home/bob/Android/android-ndk-20160106/sources/cxx-stl/gnu-libstdc++/4.9/libs/armeabi/thumb

[dimitry-]

will move it to LIBC there are couple of others I missed (__popcount_tab?)

[BlueMax]

Not sure about any more libc symbols but the libc++_shared.so seems completely unusable:

0 bob ~ $ echo "int main() { return 0; }" | $TRIPLE-clang++ -xc++ - -lc++_shared

I think __page_size is another one used by https://github.com/seth-hg/fuse-android.

[dimitry-]

__page_size was only used for android-12 and below.. I have fixed getpagesize for these versions to use PAGE_SIZE instead
